How important are the FC upgrades for elites?
Are they the main or only reason for many to choose NW and later Delta?
Care to share your thoughts?
Please be up front about it.
Yes, I tend to fly NW as a result of FC upgrades as well as the best hubs in the domestic US. NW's coach product is not the best on the planet, but lets face it, none of them are very good even vaunted UA with E+ still is nothing at the end of the day to write home about (note not trying to run down UA am Prem Ex too). NW takes care of its elites via WP and this is a huge component. I'd venture to say that anyone with an alternative would be out the door if they were to remove it. Of course YMMV!! Many thanks for spurring an insightful conversation and debate!^ Safe travels Y'all!
